SFO Airplane Crash Means Planes Overhead

San Francisco airports near real-time visual flight tracker reports “no flight data” reflecting the closure of the airport and diversion of flights due to a Boeing 777 crash landing, July 6th, 2013.

San Francisco Airport has re-opened two runways, 19L and 19R, after the entire airport was closed due to an Asiana 777 airliner crash earlier today, on intersecting runway 28L.

Normally, the airport switches to the so-called Southeast Plan only in bad weather, typically in the winter.

The runway numbers are derived from the compass heading for approach. Planes approach runways 19L/19R with a compass heading of roughly 190 degrees, and runways 28L/28R with a compass heading of roughly 280 degrees.
